Winter hog feeding requires dif- ferent methods from those ordinarily found successful in summer, Stunting and crippling are common during the winter and result largely from an ov- ersupply of heavy feeds as well as front a lack of some of the vital ele- meats. Lack of sunshine and exer- else may also be contributory causes. Control measures to forestall these n intcr feeding difficulties are as follows: Use a variety of feeds in the ration including milk or tankage; provide alfalfa or clover hay or roots in .small quantities; do not feed too heavily; allow young animals to ex- ercise outdoors in mild weather; all stock should have comfortable sleep= ing quarters which 'are dry and free from draughts, Plants as Hunch as ani'mals -require rood.

'Grading is based on the principle that it is sound business to classify live stock,_ live stock products, and other 'Canadian commodities in such a way 'that the consenter will be able to recognize .and purchase quality pro- ducts and that tate producer will be enabled to obtain the higher price. (Experience pias proved that value of this theory, "The identilfication of 'top quality .beef under red and blue rib- bon bands, the grading of poultry, the segregat'i'on of eggs and fruit into quality grades which are known to practic'al'l;y every Canadian consumer, and other grading activities have been t treotendous incentive to quality pro- duction with resultant benefit to pro- ducers. lGr'adintg has notonly served to create better prices for quality products, but has also brought about a substantial increase in consumption.

The various statements made by Mussolini .are becoming more inter- esting each day in the light of world developments, for many of the points that 111 'Duce insisted upon are pre- cisely 'those that we now hear ad- vocated all about us. The three prin- ciples which the Italian Premier de- fined in these conversations as being necessary for the solution of world problems are; Co-operation, co-ordin- ation and the direction of energy, prin- ciples which have 'become the 'thence of all international discussions. Mus- solini laid the greatest emphasis on co-operation, When I asked hint what he believed would be the chief -characteristic of the new era, his answer was: "Co- operation ! Co-operation 'tvithiat each nation and between all nations. That is the next. stage, of evolutionary de- velopment that the world is entering, that it must enter in order to survive. Co-operation is the secret of man's well being on earth." I cannot take the time to go into details as to how 'Mussolini would solve world problems, but •I can give you his genre" statement. "We must consider the world as a unit and its problems must be met with :a sense of world unity, world co-operation and Management not heretofore sufficiently precept in in- ternational 'parleys. The world prob- lems' must be solved with simplicity, honesty and decision—with spiritual- ity instead of materialism. And these problems must be met with the view- point of tomorrow." This last sentence is characteristic of Mussolini, for he has said that he is always more 'homesick for the future than he is for the past. Char- acteristic too, is his emphasis" on spir- ituality. For modern Ttaly, Nandi capped as always 'by the lack of ma- terial resources, has conserved and cultivated her spiritual resources and put of the spirit: is building en iii dostrial system adequate to modern needs. 'One would expect Mussolini to in- sist upon co -:operation, since• co-opera- tion is the principle for which he led the march on ,Roost ten years ago, and the. principle on which he, as the leader of the ;Italian people, has 'based the reorganization of the Italian state. His government gives witness to the prisiciple in its very name, for it is called the Corporative 'State. It is a government ;both of co-operation and corporation. Tit cel' it may be :Honed as, a government of co-operat- ing corporations. Today the Italian corporations comprise employees as weal as employers, and they take. in every branch of 'productive activity including the intellectual's. It is aro longer the territorial divisions of Italy that send representatives to the Ital- Recovery Under Wray Eo W. Beatty Believes Reviewing Canadian business conditions of the past year and at the same time looking forward to the prospects for 11)34, E. W. Beatty, Chairman and President or the Canadlan Pacific Railway, thinks the country is on the way back to prosperity, although the way may be long, and at times difficult. In a statement published in the "Montreal Stet" ho says:— " Of 1933 I think it is pet' - haps with re- lief that most of us will say —that's t ha t, and now for 1934. We meet this New Year with something of a better un- derstanding or. what this so- called depres- sion is all about and what we ought to do about it. We see along the road leading to its end more clearly and further than we did a year ago. That fact has inspired con- fidence and courage and has started us moving towards the bettor times that broadened pros- perity will bring to all. The road is not an easy one; there are long hills and difficult spots, but it °flare no danger or problem too great to be surmounted by the courage and energy of the Cana- dian people. We have before us problems that will tax the ingenu- ity and strength ofourleaders in statescralt, finance and industry and make great demands upon the patience and understanding of our people, but if these problems are met with courage and dealt with in accordance with the laws of sound economics which are as re- lentlessly unchangeable as the laws of nature, this country will emerge from the purging in far bettor shape to progress than it has over been before, and indivi- dual prosperity for all classes of our people will be more firmly established. I believe that the elusive corner we were hoping to turn through many weary months, slipped past es all unnoticed some time ago, and that we have defin- itely passed through the worst and most trying phase of the period. Railroad Situation. E. W. Beatty, It.C. "The past year has been par- ticularly difficult for our -rail- roads and there seems little:rea- son to hope that condil:lons are going to be much easier for those who operate thein in the imme- diate cr near future, Alteration in Canada's etatus from the posi- tion we used to claim as the world's chief producer of bread - stuffs bas already proved far- reaching in its adverse effect u"on our transportation industry. Un- der most favorable circumstances governing development of other lines of tiericuttural production for export, it may reasonably take some years to bring the volume of Canada's rail freight back to the high figures of a few years ago. It is therefore imperative upon the managements of those railways depending upon earnings to meet. operating costs, interest and other charges that all possible measures of economy in operation shall con- tinue in force. But when this is accomplished the problem for Canada is far from solved. Nast Reduce 'lases. "All that is true of the railways is true in some respect of most other public facilities, and such progress as has been made over the past year along the line of al'tecting economies in adminis- tration of public affairs has been helpful, but has served mostly to point the way to larger and more fundamental re- arrangements looking towards an easing of the great load of national debt, and a reduction of taxation the extent of which has come to assume ominous proportions, There is no need for further stressing the inescapable necessity for such ac- tion. I do not believe that any thinking Canadian viewing nation- al affairs without prejudice, wlll deny that the drain upon public and individual wealth consequent upon the general railway situa- tion continues to over -shadow all other problems, and it is by far the most important difficulty tbat has to be surmounted before the way to prosperity lies open before us. The Remenly. In order to clarify the situation early in the year, I outlined 1n two public addresses what I believed to be the only possible solution for that problem. In effect, I proposed that the people of Can- ada as owners of the Canadian Na- tional Railway should enter into a partnership arrangement with the shareholders of the Canadian Pacific, and that the resulting' or- ganization should be operated by the privately owned concern, thus relieving railroad management in this country from the too -well proven evils of political influences and at •tate same time removing from the path of our greatly har- rassod political leaders the em- barrassments that must ever ac- company responsibility for rail- way operation. tlfy proposals at that time met with a volume of approval and support such as, frankly, I had not anticipated, and I found even in places where it was least to bo expected that they received a serious consideration that showed how widespread was the conviction that this problem had to be settled in some satisfac- tory and permanent manner, Nothing that has since happened has tended to change my convic- tion that in these proposals lies the only sound ultimate solution of the difficulty. I can think of nothing short of this that may be a.tternnted that will offer ade- nunte relief from an economic drain that has in it all the possi- bilities of national disaster. I have reason to believe, also, that I share this conviction with e lame and increasing, number of citizens who are giving thought to the state of real economic peril in which we stand." ran Congress but instead these indust - Nal and intellectual corporations. Thus the great currents of industry find di- rect representation in the government. In the 'Italian Congress, as in the na- tional life, these separate corporations are co-ordinated into one great cor- poration which is Italy, acting never for the welfare of any one class, hitt always for the welfare of the entire body of its producing citizens, who arc really its share -holders. One of these corporations is that of banking. You may be interested in Mussolini's answer to my question, "What should be clone with bankers?" He said, "I can only answer by telling you what we have done in Italy. Here we have incorporated them into the state along with the farmers, the in- dustrialists, the merchants and. the professors, and we have provided by law that their activities, like those of all other citizens, should never be detrimental to the welfare of the state. That is, they should be free to act along any lines they sec fit as long as their activities are not damag- ing to the public welfare." IBanking activities end all other ac- tivities, Mussolini feels, should he under.the guardianship of the govern- ment, 'but never to a degree to ham- per ,private initiative. In other words it is his idea that government must remain aloof from private industry as long as private industry is able to take 'care of itself. If, however, the tnanegement of some industries is in- competent and imperils the welfare of the people, then the state must inter- vene. ,Mussolini 'holds that in their own interest 'banks and other citi- zens must think first of the welfare of the entire nation a sa ',prerequisite of their own prosperity. And now let us consider the .Mus- solini Foos Power 'Peace Pact and the Italian leader's feeling about world ' peace. Here we 'find- that sure principle' of co-operation, which means also conciliation. Mussolini's policy in Europe as in Italy conciliates instead of separates.

The Pact .'aims to be a treaty signed before tvlj' itt- 1 . !Because of the widely varying opin- ions on the subject, I wanted to char from the Italian leader himself what he thought about peace and what in his view was the possibility of. world peace and how to attain it. Being an Italian and therefore a realist, 'Mus- solini is skeptical about a permanent world peace, but this is what he said to ale: "As far as peace depends on 1110, it is secure. It will never be Italy that will disturb the peace of the peace of the world, never. We want peace; for we have plenty to do in Italy. We are concentrated in a great constructive labor to improve the liv- ing conditions, both material and spiritual, of the Italian people. Our militarism is purely of self defense and we will never fire the first shot." Knowing that 'I would publish some of our interviews he added for em- phasis, "You may write that on every wall if you likel 'As as man of poli- tics S shall' work for the longest per- iod of peace possible." II asked, "How shall we obtain it?" 'Here is Mussolini's answer: "The way to get peace is to disarm. The disarmament conferences mast avoid leading to armament. If, for ex- ample—the coining conference decides to allow Germany to arnt equally with other .nations instead of insisting that other nations disarm down to Ger- man's level, the conference will have led to armament instead of to dis- armament." Turning to another major question that is troubling world peace, I asked "What is wrong with capital today? How must it transfot•tn itself " 'Mussolini's answer came as usual without •hesitation: "Capital crust be made alt. instrument ---n0' t divinity. It must return' tohnmas proportions. The difficulty has been that capital- ism has become 1 these times too colossal.. for the control of man: In capitalism, as in alt 'Arabian. Night's Tate, man has evoked a ph'antau,p that 'he bias been unable to get back into 115 'bottle." At the end of one of our conversa- tions II asked the JPremier questions about himself. First, whetheror not he planned to come to America. His answer did not surprise me, 'foe he had ',.told me years ago of his enthusiasm for Ameria'c. "I do not exclude the possi'bili'ty, of a visit to America," he said, bttt he added in perfect sincer- Services We. Can Render In the time of need PROTECTION is your best '.friend.

In answer to my question, what was the result on 'him as a Imran being of his unique experience of ten years of lead- ership, he said: "A great fellowship, affection, for the individual man and for humanity.

The love of his country has been the inopiration of his life as a states- man. His dream for the happiness of Italy is the air Mussolini breathes. It is more than that—it is the ural him- self. One feels that his personal thoughts have been entirely absorbed in thoughts for his country as rivers lose themselves in the sea. His unity with the thought of the Italian peo- ple is the main secret' of his success as a leader. Their thoughts are 'his thoughts,..this is one of the reasons for his ability to inspire and weld into a spiritual unity a people that has been striving for just such a unity since the 'a:iddle Ages. It is because Sttttssoline through his great gifts, a- mong them his intuition, his complete personal dedication, cart lead Italy to- wards a spiritual unity that has re- mained for over ten years. "DEVILFISH" Recent newspaper despatches • tell- ing of the chance capture of a big octopus in Newfoundland waters, af- ter a fast and furious battle, must had some special interest for British fish- ermen, since octopus, or octopi if you prefer, are taken. commercially off the Pacific coast. The catch is never large and only incidenta 1 to other fishing operations. IIt may be, naturally enough, that most 'Canadians do not know very much about the octopus of the Paci- fic coast and there's another fish found in the Dominion with which they may not be familiar. This latter chap is the fish called "Inconnu," or, translated, "l.Inlenow-n," a .name be- lieved to have been given it by French voyageurs of the old days on first' penetrating to the far northwest. The inconntt occurs in the Mackenzie, Slive and Yukon rivers, Great Slave (Lake and otehr northwestern waters. Indeed, it not only occurs but it oc- curs in some places in such abund- ance fleet a sergeant of the old' Royal ;North-West Mounted Police reported some years ago that there were so many of 't'he' fish in !Buffale•River ..that he "wan nearly able to wall( across the river on their backs.'
